Opens the tray: "Phan Thiet, 'Green Pastures.'" Handwritten, green ground.
Aerial, forest and hills under an overcast sky.
More organized than a loose village — a real grid layout of houses along straight streets, with a wide trail climbing from its edge over a forested hill.
A denser settlement pattern, houses along a winding stream, farmland around it — an aircraft wheel visible in the corner of frame, confirming this was shot from the aircraft itself.
More specific than patchwork farmland — organized plantation rows, likely rubber or coffee given the regular spacing, shot past a rounded aircraft component (wheel or tank) in the corner of frame.
Inland, not coastal: a white-roofed house among plantation land and ponds, aircraft wheel visible in frame.
A CH-21 Shawnee in flight against a cloudy sky.
The door gunner's view — past the mounted .30-caliber gun toward open sky. Three distant aircraft are visible in loose formation over the sea.
Same gun position, now over open water — and the same three aircraft from #71 are still visible in the distance, confirming these two frames were shot moments apart.
Aerial over cleared coastal terrain — approaching the landing area.
A CH-21 landing, troops visible on the ground around it.
A CH-21 lifting off, a second visible further out.
A CH-21 on the ground, troops gathered around it. Tail marking reads "U.S. ARMY 62100."
Fully legible on the tail boom: "U.S. ARMY 62095."
A CH-21 departing, close — tail marking fully legible: "U.S. ARMY 62110," a fourth number in the same tight cluster seen elsewhere in this tray (62091, 62095, 62100).
A single aircraft, distant.
A twin-engine aircraft in a distinctive red-and-white paint scheme, landing — consistent with a Beechcraft U-8 Seminole, the Army's staff/VIP transport of the era. "U.S. Army 23636" is legible on the tail. Also visible: two CH-21s on the ground, tail numbers 62091 (left) and a third example of the same numbering cluster seen elsewhere in this tray (62095, 62100).
A CH-37 Mojave in flight, cargo hook visibly hanging beneath the fuselage — direct physical evidence it was rigged for a hoist or sling recovery, not just flying past. Two more CH-21s visible on the ground below. This is the same caption cross-referenced from the Tay Ninh tray — confirmation this aircraft's role in his unit's area was heavy-lift rescue work.
Aerial, distant aircraft over the coast — UH-1Bs approaching.
A ground-level scene — a twin-engine transport plane on the runway, jeeps and soldiers standing nearby, buildings and a watchtower in the background. His word "Oans" — meaning still unclear.
uncertain — word not identified
Aerial over the coastline and open water. Closes the tray.
